The Louisiana Life Safety & Security Association (LLSSA) is gearing up for its 2026 Convention & Tradeshow, bringing Louisiana’s life safety and property protection industry together for education, networking, industry updates, and the opportunity to see the latest products and technology. This year’s convention will be held November 19, 2026, at the Hilton New Orleans Airport in Kenner, Louisiana, with the annual LLSSA Golf Tournament kicking off the activities one day earlier.

The festivities begin Wednesday, November 18, with the annual LLSSA Golf Tournament at Riverlands Golf & Country Club, 500 Fairway Drive in LaPlace. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by a Putting Contest at 10:00 a.m. and tournament play at 11:00 a.m. The day concludes with awards and a social beginning at 3:30 p.m. More than just a day on the course, the tournament supports the LLSSA Youth Scholarship Program, helping LLSSA give back to the families of Louisiana’s public safety professionals.

On Thursday, November 19, attention turns to the Hilton New Orleans Airport for a full day of convention activities from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Attendees can earn up to 7 continuing education units (CEUs) while participating in educational sessions that include classes presented by industry professionals and the Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office. The day will also include the LLSSA State Meeting, providing important updates affecting Louisiana’s life safety and property protection industry.

A major highlight of the convention will be the Tradeshow featuring approximately 70 vendors. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet manufacturers, distributors, monitoring centers, service providers, and other industry partners while exploring new products, technology, services, and resources. The tradeshow creates an opportunity to make valuable connections and learn about solutions that can help Louisiana companies strengthen and grow their businesses.

The Hilton New Orleans Airport, 901 Airline Drive in Kenner, will serve as the convention headquarters. A special LLSSA hotel group rate is available using group code LLSSA, making it convenient for attendees and exhibitors to stay where the convention activities are taking place. Registration is required for the convention, and both attendee and vendor registration options are available through LLSSA.

The LLSSA Convention continues to be one of the association’s most important opportunities to bring together installers, technicians, company owners, manufacturers, distributors, monitoring professionals, regulators, and other industry partners. From continuing education and regulatory information to networking and discovering new technology, the 2026 event is designed to provide practical value to professionals throughout Louisiana’s life safety and property protection industry.
